Abstract

The present invention relates to a mechanism comprising a frame (10), levers (7), pedals (19, 17, 13), clutches (1) and/or freewheels, gears and/or pulleys, rotation shafts (8, 9, 11, 14, 15) and/or lever pushrods (20) which convert the reciprocating pushing movement into a rotational movement of the various vehicles or anything else that needs driving force by means of the muscular effort of the legs of at least one user in an upright (standing) position and/or one user in a horizontal (sitting) position or lying on their back or stomach in order to push the levers (7) which bounce back and forth about a horizontal axis (HX) and/or two parallel and symmetrical vertical axes (VX1 and VX2).
